Klootfan, I'd go to all of your gigs. Really good line-up there. Right now I'd go for the indie rock/pop theme: Crawdaddy The 747s The Redneck Manifesto - There would have to be some Irish bands in my mix. The 747s are really great ska/punk/rock band and are playing the Sugar Club soon. So I'd have them support and The Redneck Manifesto to headline because they are a kickin live band (and were class in Crawdaddy last year). TBMC Heartless Bastards Drive-By Truckers - Bit of a southern rock twist to it all. Heartless Bastards are a new band with a good debut out called 'Stairs And Elevators' plus they've been supporting Drive-By Truckers across America so it's only fitting. Drive-By Truckers would headline because they are one of the best bands around at the moment and would put on a memorable show. Whelan's Bloc Party The Shins - Bloc Party because they were amazing in this venue in January so would love to see them again. And The Shins because missed them here last year, a cracking band and would be a good headliner. Vicar Street Belle & Sebastian Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - These are two great bands so the support slot would have to be extended. Belle & Sebastian have a new double album coming which is great and we're excellent at Oxegen last year. I've always wanted to see Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds even more so since the last double album and their Electric Picnic performance is one to watch out for. Olympia The White Stripes Kings Of Leon - Would be good to see White Stripes in a venue like this, playing alot of their older stuff too. I'd have them as support because I reckon Kings Of Leon would be a great headliner.

heh, heh, maybe some drinks company will come along and take it over i'm calling it Lend Us Your Cluas and I'll take 10 percent if anyone else uses it The Olympia Radiohead doing "Kid A" in its entirity supported by Swedish jazzers EST Whelans Bruce Springsteen (can u imagine it?) supported by Sons & Daughters (saw them last night supporting Idlewild - left before Idlewild even entered the building. S&Ds ROCK - pj harvey fronting the bad seeds Vicar St, Kraftwerk supported by Four Tet. I'd love to see someone like kraftwerk here and the new four tet album rocks. death to folktronica! TBMC The White Stripes supported by a reformed for the night Whipping Boy Crawdaddy Kanye West with John Legend supported by Motown's legendary Funk Brothers house band and the Memphis Horns. Yowsa!

I'd have a Hair Rock festival. The Olympia Sisters of Mercy with support from Poison Whelans Def Leppard support Slade Vicar St, Hawkwind (the obvious highlight of the festival) support Mr. Big TBMC Bon Jovi support Van Halen Crawdaddy W.A.S.P support from Cinderella What a festival. Could you imaging the amount of denim jackets with back patches and home-made art work on them. The tight jeans, the pristine white boot runners with the toungue lifted out to cover the bottom of the stone washed wranglers. The smell of hairspray. Brilliant.

Mixer. That sounds Deadly...Oh the fun..

Dublin would smell of crusty metallers for a week end. I suppose it beats the smell of the liffey.

Nice list there Gar, Havent heard of a few of those bands, but im going to check up on em. Nice one with The White Stripes, they were in the back of my mind alright. Did you catch the Kings of leon in the olympia xmas 2 years back. Quality show
